Some guy from the Bayou in LA discussing the matter with a legal scholar.




Walter M. Shaub, Director, Office of Government Ethics, speaking at the Brookings Institute




Dir. Shaub's short speech is well worth watching. It's succinct and clear.

Trump said he would release his taxes. What reason would he have had to say that if it were not known that such is the ethical standard for the position he sought? What does it say about one who says one thing and does another?
